Regina Mcintosh Poet Free verse

Farewell, Summer

 Adieu to the sun-kissed flowers
Goodbye to the brisk ocean waves
Leaving behind the fresh green grass
Parting ways with bright butterflies
Separating from sweet ice cream
Departing the fires of camp sides
Farewell, Summer, I miss your touch!

You know I once worked in a store where the cashier told me they sold more ice cream during the winter than summer - I thought that was odd, but something to wonder about :) Happy Sunday and God bless you.
